Sasaki Touichi (1886-1955)

Sasaki was an older officer recalled to command the hastily raised 149 Division
in the desperate last days of the war. He was captured by the Chinese, who imprisoned him for
involvement in the Rape of Nanking.
His troops had begun killing Chinese prisoners as soon as they entered
the city, and he ratified their conduct with a "no quarter" order in
violation of the laws
and customs of war. He gave as an excuse that the stretched logistics of the Japanese Army
precluded feeding prisoners. Sasaki died while in prison.
